Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Gros tournois coin is that it was minted during the reign of King John II of France, who was captured by the English during the Hundred Years' War and held prisoner for several years. Despite this, the coin still bears the king's name and title, highlighting the complex political and economic dynamics of the time.
